Objectives and Contextualisation
The Public Administration has a fundamental role in everything that has to do with prevention and safety, establishing plans and measures that allow facing in a coordinated and effective way situations of serious collective risk, to guarantee the integrity of the people, material means , infrastructure and the environment.
It is also up to the Public Administrations to protect the free exercise of the rights and freedoms of citizens, as well as to ensure compliance with their obligations, guarantee public safety and peaceful coexistence, within the framework of the general interest.
At the same time, the Public Administration must ensure the safety of the infrastructures, means of transport and other means that it uses and makes available to citizens, as well as the safety and welfare of its employees.
Public employees are responsible for preventing and acting on any threat to safety. Therefore, their effectiveness will depend, not only on the means they have, but on their competencies, organization and direction.

Assessment
Continuous evaluation
Students will take 2 continuous evaluation tests (PEC) that will be delivered through the moodle classroom related to the blocks of the syllabus.
Students will be evaluated by means of a written test on the subject matter covered, which will take place on the date scheduled at the School. This test may be oral at the teacher's discretion.
In order to obtain the sum of the two parts, theoretical and practical, it is necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 3.5 in the face-to-face written test..
Single Evaluation
Students who opt for the single evaluation will take a final synthesis test of all the content of the course (50%) and will hand in the work of the course (50%).
The date for this test and the delivery of the work of the subject will be the same scheduled in the timetable for the last exam of continuous evaluation.
The same recovery system will be applied as for the continuous evaluation.
Evaluation of the students in second or more summons.
Students who repeat the course will have to take the scheduled tests and exams and hand in the course work on the dates indicated in the Moodle classroom.
Recovery
In case of not passing the course according to the above mentioned criteria (continuous assessment or single assessment), a recovery test can be done on the date scheduled in the timetable, which willdeal with all the contents of the program. In order to participate in the recovery the student must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities, the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject. However, the grade that will be recorded in the student's file is a maximum of 5-Approved, regardless of the grade obtained in the exam.
If thestudent has not been evaluated for these two thirds because he/she has not taken the tests, he/she will receive a grade of Not Presented, without the possibility of taking the final make-up exam.
Changing the date of a test or an exam
Students who need to change an evaluation date must submit the request by filling in the document that can be found in the EPSI Tutoring moodle space.
Once the document has been filled in, it must be sent to the subject teacher and to the grade coordination.
Revision
At the time of each evaluation activity, the faculty will inform the students of the grade review mechanisms.
For single evaluation students, the review process will be the same.
Other considerations
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, "in the event that the student performs any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of an act of evaluation, this act of evaluation will be graded with a 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instituted. In case of several irregularities in the acts of evaluation of the same subject, the final grade of this subject will be 0". The tests/exams may be written and/or oral at the teacher's discretion.
In case of suspicion of plagiarism, including technological plagiarism, the teacher may verify the originality of the work, including through oral tests.
If there are supervening circumstances that prevent the normal development of the course, the teacher may modify both the methodology and the evaluation of the course.
